Welcome To Hell, I Meant School
Oops?
Devin's POV
School never got any easier. The people never got nicer; I did make a few more friends though. I met a guy named Tony the other day.I have yet to meet the girl Ashley's friends that were in a band and were away on tour. They were supposed to be here last week but weren't. My time in this new school is now three weeks. Since then, I am covered in bruises, cuts, and makeup trying to hide it all. Stress has been getting to me and I've not eaten as much as I probably should have. My clothes went from one size to big to two sizes too big. Grades were suddenly important to me since I barely had friends.
It was the middle of fourth period when two guys wearing all black came in. The first was very tall and skinny. The second was a shorter guy but similar build. " Glad you could join us Mr. Balz, and Mr. Cerulli. It's been what, three weeks?"The tall one said, "It has." the teacher rolled his eyes and said, "sit." to which they did.Ashley smiled and waved to the tall one. The tall one waved back. At the end of class, she hugged them and was excited to see them. "So are you new here?" The tall one asked. I looked to Ash and she answered for me, "He is indeed new. His name is Devin. Likes a lot of the same stuff you and the boys do."
He nodded and said, " Well, my name's Chris and if you need anything, anything at all, just ask. Like if you want to hang out or something or need a ride, just ask me or one of my friends and told them that I said you could." I nodded and signed thank you. I was glad when Ashley changed the subject and I was able to not be the center of attention any longer. I looked at Chris when he wasn't looking. He had gauges and several facial piercings that suited him well. When I was done observing him, I looked at the friend that had come into class with him. He too had facial piercings.
Ashley talked for me when we met the rest of her friends. I found out that the one guy who had the piercings and was called Mr. Balz in class was named Josh but no one called him that. There were several people she introduced me too. There was a Ricky, TJ, Vinny, and Ryan. I tried to blend into the back ground while everyone around me ate. Sadly, it didn't happen. Chris asked how come I didn't have food. I told him I didn't have any money. He offered me some of his food and I said no thanks.He gave me a look, one that said I should avoid him.
The rest of the day came and went. Walking home was the same as always, done in fear. This time however, I noticed that Chris goes home in the same direction as me. Then I noticed that he is my neighbor. How lovely. That means I can't exactly go and sit in the yard or on my roof because he'll see me. At night, I like to look at the sky, I haven't done it much here but I used to sit on my roof at my old house all the time.
I spent the afternoon doing my homework. I didn't stop until I was done. When I did finish, it was well after 10. I needed air. My thoughts were a whirlwind and homework only distracted me for so long. It was a temporary distraction from my problems. Climbing out my window, I sat on the roof ledge beside the window. Having a Two-story house definitely has its perks on occasion. The stairs were a bitch after a long day and a beating. Sitting up there, I breathed in the air and breathed out my school stress. The demons in my mind came out.They told me things that I was insecure of. I was fat, I was a freak, and I was unlovable. All I wanted to do was cry and scream. The kids at school were terrible. My Grades may have been decent but my social life wasn't. Talking to anyone was one of the hardest things I have had to do, and I couldn't do it.
"HEY." Said a voice. It startled me and I started to fall of the roof. As the ground neared my face, I tried to brace for impact. The fall was about 8ft since the roof was on the first level and not the second.I was scared but not quite. The fear I felt in those 15 seconds was more then I have ever felt in my life. When my body hit the ground, it was a sickening sound. The hot searing pain in my back and other places was intense. It hurt to breathe.
"Are you okay?" The voice said.
"Do I look okay? I fell off a fucking roof."
"I was asking, sheesh."
" Can you please just either fuck off or help me up."
" Sure uh yeah." the voice said as they then neared towards me.
" Are you sure you should get up? I mean you should probably go to the hospital?" They said after a moment of just standing there.
"Can you tell me who you are? I can't see you very well."
"It's Uh Chris." He said.
"Oh."
"Yeah. I'm gonna check you real quick to make sure you aren't bleeding."
FUCKKKKKKK. The moment he moves my sleeves or the rest of my jacket and its all over.
"Shit man, I think you have broken bones."
"Don't worry about it."
"Your going to the hospital, I'm going to take you."
Trying to get up, I cried out in intense pain. I felt like I had been lit on fire. Chris gently pushed me back on the ground and told me not to move. He called two of his friends and they came in their band van. Chris had me on the bench seat lying down while his friends drove. They played Slipknot in the background. It allowed their not to be an awkward silence. When we finally arrived at the hospital, I was taken away on a gurney. The pain became too much as they moved me and I started to black out.As one of the nurses tried to take off my jacket, I tried to fight her away, but it caused more pain.Within moments they had put an IV in me and were giving me a drug to pass out. "Pease don't let them know, they don't know. Don't let them know." I cried out
As I passed out, the last face I saw was Ricky, Chris's friend and he looked worried. Oops?
